Initial Entry Deadline

peach17

Guys, ano po ba yung advisable buffer/allowance to consider para sa Initial Entry Date.

Sa case po kasi namin. November 11 ang IED namin. And we are planning na sulitin ang stay namin dito sa pinas and go to Australia by November 6.

Okay lang po ba na sagarin yung IED? 5 days lang magiging allowance namin. Hindi naman po ba yun delikado?

^ only concern I have is kapag for some reason eh ma-delay ang flight nyo..

But on the other hand, if meron ka naman valid reason bakit na delay at may proof naman kayo ng intended move date is before ng IED, i believe there shouldn't be any problem. :-)

ito rin naisip ko ... wag namang sana na before kayo umalis e biglang ma delay at walang possibleng flight to au ( which is impossible naman ) paso ang visa nyo

peach17

ung 5 days allowance po ba eh enough na? or masyado risky?

batchmate, wala naman ako nakikitang iba pang issue maliban dun sa ma-delay or ma-cancel. Worst case scenario, magbook ka ulit the next few days or the same day.. yun lang mahal na. So I think it should be fine 😉

Kung ako sayo para mabawasan ang risk at pag-iisip kung ma delay ba or kung ano mang reason, if possible and kung wala pa kayo plane ticket, why don't you just move the date say 15 to 20 days prior IED para hindi mo na problemahin.

hello everyone, ask ko lang sans with regards to IED, dap at ba lahat ng kasama sa application say young family ay dap at mag IED din kasabay ng primary applicant? thanks

@jvframos - not necessarily sabay sabay with primary...

BUT all should satisfy the entry requirement before the IED...

some other visa grant may condition, example:

Dapat mauna mag entry ang Primary, pwde sabay sabay ang lahat
pero hindi pwede mauna ang secondary..

Kahit inde sabay basta lahat kayo maka entry before the expiration

@peach17 5 days are actually no risk at all. Kami nga 2 days before the IED eh.

^ Personally I wouldn't do that if possible.. Less worry sa akin because you never know and you can not control external factors that may contribute to delayed flights. Better safe than sorry. For me, if you can choose din lang, more buffer days much better.. say 15-20 days compare to less than 5 days. IMHO

puede siguro natin itanong sa DIAC yung case na may confirmed plane ticket ka na before ang IED and for some reason na delay ang flight or hindi ka nakasama sa flight...

1.) Hindi ba mapapaso ang IED kung may valid reason?

2.) Ano ang mga valid reason?

3.) If hindi valid ang reason, void ba ang VISA mo, wala bang parang penalty na lang or grace period etc...

If we have these informations, we can plan ahead with no worries at all.

Baka sis @peach17 pwedeng mag initial entry date kahit 3 days lang muna dun. Gusto kong itry nga sana ung air asia kasi mura pamasahe - from Ph to Malaysia muna then from KL saka mag AU.

Undecided pa kasi ako kung October or January na ako pupunta dun, pero April pa naman IED ko.

I could be wrong but pwede naman sabihin ng DIAC that it is not their problem that your visa validity has lapsed... In the first place, may sufficient time naman binigay.

JCsantos

Or not unless it's a life threatening situation

thanks batchmate @Khaosan_Road..

hmmm gusto muna sana namin tapusin ang Nov 1 bago pumunta sa Au.

Baka gawin na lang namin Nov 2 ang flight para nman may 10 days buffer. 🙂

Hi @pmzinoz, Nov 2 na lang cguro ang kunin naming flight. Tapusin muna namin ang Nov 1 dito sa pinas.

every year kasi napunta kami sa Sementeryo at buong araw kami dun nag sstay...

cguro okay na ung 10 days na buffer no? for our Nov 12 IED...

Im praying na wag magkaron ng delays or anything...

@Filamokio, hehe parang di ko kaya yun sis... magdagdag na lang ako ng 4 days sa initial plan nmin na Nov 6.. Gawin na naming Nov 2 🙂

@peach17

I think that would be a good decision just in case may unavoidable circumstances meron pa kayo time mag adjust.

Of course we all wanted to have a smoothly executed plan but some things are not in our hands so better safe especially if may kids, you don't want to contact DIAC if this unforeseen scenarios suddenly came up.

@TasBurrfoot

Yes, DIAC can always say that na sufficient ang time na binigay to prepare and I personally would not want to risk na mag laps ang IED but for those na kelangan sagarin ang IED or let's say nag laps na ang IED, wala ba silang consideration or something done para sa mga ganitong cases? Talaga bang void na yung VISA na pinaghirapan natin?

I will check on this further, curious lang ako on what DIAC stands on this cases.
